Advantages: first RIM with camera, easy to use qwerty keyboard
Disadvantages: not much for how much it costs, limited internet and applications

this is my current phone and i have had it now for 18 months. it is one of the easiest phones i have ever used. this is mainly due to the qwerty key board which makes sending texts and emails so much easier. the 'pearl' track ball is the best creation on a phone since the directional buttons. it allows you to move to your required application so much faster and easier. the internet isnt so good because of the small screen it makes it so much harder ...
...internet i advise ither the samsung f700 or f490 and the apple iphone. the othe good feature of this phone is that it is the first blackberry to have a camera. this allows business photos to be taken on site and send to the office imediately for use and creates and bridge between the once large gap. ...

Advantages: Push email, pda features
Disadvantages: a little bulky

Issued a blackberry as a replacement for my work mobile phone, and first impressions were that I didn't like it. I think this is just that I saw it as a very bulky mobile phone. Admittedly, this was a very short sighted view of the Blackberry, my opinion has changed now to appreciate how useful it is. The blackberry devices are still one of the few devices which has true push email. That is to say, when an email is received by the server at HQ, ...
...connect or login to the email server to download the email. The same applies to sending emails, you write your email, click send and away it goes. It still surprises people every now and then that I can respond so quickly to an email. There is a QWERTY keyboard for writing messages, and notes, although not large enough to use as a computer keyboard, familiarity with where letters are on the keyboard speed up the process. As a phone, I still have ... Read review

Advantages: High resolution colour screen, packed with features, easy to install software, easy to use, polyphonic ringtones, long lasting battery
Disadvantages: Cost and speed of software installation

...7100v on offer direct from RIM direct for only £200 including postage and packaging I dug deep into my pockets and parted with some of my hard earned cash. When it arrived I was surprised by the packaging, it was only the size of a standard mobile phone box and contained the actual Blackberry, the software disks, a battery charger and USB cable. Installation of the software is very straightforward and onscreen instructions guide you through the ...
...the other Blackberry's in the RIM range. The standard colour is plain old black, and matt black plastic which does nothing in my opinion for the brand image. I opted for the silver 7100v similar to the picture shown above. Although it is longer in length than the standard Blackberry it is no more difficult to hold or operate, in fact the additional length increases the amount of room dedicated to the bright, high resolution colour display. Its precise ... Read review

Advantages: email on the go, calender, address book, good battery, easy to use, good visible display
Disadvantages: cost

I love getting my hands on new gadgets and when I had the opportunity to take possesion of a Blackberry 7290 for only £99.99 on an 18 month contract with Vodafone I jumped at the chance. Included within the box was the Blackberry itself, the software disk, a plug socket charger and a USB cable for transferring data to the desktop PC. The cable also doubles up as a charger for the battery which needs charging for about 12 hours before using it the ...
...the instructions as I found installing the software a bit of a nightmare at first and ended up on the phone to technical support twice. Each time they were very helpful and eventually a small icon appeared that shows the progress of data transfers and updates. So what is on the Blackberry that makes it special? Well, it's just like carrying your PC around with you. It can both send and receive emails using GPRS technology, can be used to make phone ... Read review

Advantages: Large screen, black body, easy to use keyboard.
Disadvantages: Low flash memory, could've done better with the backlight.

My best mate has got one of these for work,I have had a little play around with it was quite impressed with this little beauty.Firstly it looks the part with its black body and silver trimmings and is a sure thing for all you yuppies out there.It is also not as big as you would think looking at it and yet it has a very large screen which makes it easier to use,the only downfall with the screen i thought though was that the back light was too dim.Keyboard ...
...even for people with big fingers! One other thing my mate said was the memory was not big enough but apart from that he was more than happy with it and he didn't pay for so Whey hey.Definately one for business use emails etc,etc and not one for the average personal use. ... Read review
